Tracing his footprints

By the dining table in the kitchen, Hiroki and his mother sat down on one evening in the first week of December and wrote down all the countries in the world, the states in the U.S. as well as the prefectures in Japan to which Mr. Takeuchi had traveled between the twenty years of his career abroad and the years after Hiroki went to study in the U.S in  1996.

Through this session of recollecting his life experience and with our desire to trace his footprints in the world, we discovered that the project itself provided us a lesson of geography.

This is the photo we took on that same evening out from a travel guidebook to the U.S. The colored states in the picture are those he had been to. This was his personal traveling record.
